By Rosalind Russell – Indigenous individuals are invited to see if they qualify for compensation under the “Indian Boarding Homes Class Action Suit.”
According to boarding home class action dot com, the program was created by the Government of Canada, and placed children from First Nation communities with private families for the purpose of attending school.
Officials say the settlement is in response to two legal actions filed on behalf of children who suffered harassment, abuse, loss of language and culture, and other harms as a result of their participation.
